Sight 12: Ringkirche

Show sight on map

The Ringkirche is a Protestant church in Wiesbaden, Germany, which was built by the architect and master builder Johannes Otzen between 1892 and 1894 in neo-Romanesque style. Its twin tower forms the western end of the broad visual axis of the Rheinstraße. The Ringkirche was the first Protestant church in Germany to be built according to the so-called Wiesbaden Program, a church building program that was based on Martin Luther's demands for a "priesthood of all believers." The result was a functional central building that became a model for numerous Protestant church buildings in Germany until the end of the First World War. The trend-setting building from the Wilhelminian period has been able to preserve most of its original form to this day.
